Use of Convalescent Plasma to Treat COVID-19 Patients

This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication. Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, develop antibodies against the virus that may help cure them of the infection. After the patient has recovered (convalesced) , they can donate their blood, which can be used to obtain antibody-rich plasma. The plasma is tested for strength and number of antibodies. If these levels are high enough, the plasma is given to a patient currently infected with COVID-19. If effective, the plasma will help cure infection in the new patient.
